For 15-years I drove field sales for numerous high-tech software companies garnering expertise in customer relationship management, enterprise storage, and data and network security. As good fortune would have it, I was introduced to recruiting in 2004 and it has proven the most fulfilling occupation of my career. Discovering that I could contribute meaningful value, beyond revenue generation, by matching the best talent with positions my clients needed filled was profound. Where do we spend the vast majority of our time? At work. Wouldn't it be fantastic to connect someone with a job they were not only good at, but could enhance their quality of life while concurrently addressing the important business need of the customer. Then on top of it to have had the privilege of recruiting for some of the most recognizable brands in the world, has been an amazing experience. Having sold enterprise software for so many years I bring a unique perspective because I've been on both sides of the table. One, I understand how enterprise software supports revenue generation and overall operational performance. Two, I respond with a sense of urgency by identifying the best talent for a given client as their business generates demand for qualified resources. Those qualities combined with the insight into cross-functional nuances within an organization and how those can impact the outcome, positively or negatively make me a valuable asset. And ultimately, when I hear in the words of the customer and candidate that I have succeeded on their behalf, that is the true reward.
